Absolutely unhinged. Nobody would have believed this “tweet” even 1 year ago, and now this is the new normal
1 year ago? How about 5 years ago?
Honestly, even then. 45 was always unhinged but 47 has really lowered the bar more than was ever thought possible.
I mean if he was unhinged but was making your lifes better I would understand but the guy doesn’t even care and it’s making your lifes worst. I’m I crazy to think that american are crazy to vote for him, or is he making your lifes better in any way?
Not a critic, just really want to understand
He is making the lives of women and minorities worse; that’s what Republicans voted for
TRUMP is the GREATEST GODKING EVER because he will FINALLY GET RID OF the d*mn WOKEDEIDRAGILLEGALSQUEENIMMIGRANTS that sleepy joeBUSSED into our great country🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 GOD BLESS AMERICA AMEN
LETS MAKE JEEBUS CRY!
No, a large swathe of Americans are just that stupid/insane/brainwashed
It’s a combination of very stupid/uninformed voters, and hardcore fascist voters who don’t care how bad their own lives get, as long as immigrants and trans people get gassed. A lot of people think the latter group is a minority, but I actually think it’s the other way around. I think most people who voted for Trump are just fascists and the uninformed are maybe 20% max.
From outaide it’s so crazy that the same people that “hate imigrants” call themselfs Irish and Italian kkkkk
It’s like he’s campaigning for the liberals. Almost no one in Canada wants to hear this and I bet they will vote against whatever they see as aligned with this.
This stuff is first and foremost meant for the eyes of his supporters
Exactly. He’s normalizing the idea of the violent annexation of Canada to his supporters.
But honestly they seem to think it is fucking meaningless. They’re more forgiving about it, but they’re still out there calling it asinine.
It’s like a truck carrying punctuation got into an accident with a train carrying words. This is so hard to read.
Can’t give you Reddit gold, so i present Lemmy Juicebox🧃, the highest honor that one can bestow upon a comment or post on Lemmy
I like this way more.
Awwww man! I accidentally squeezed the box while inserting the straw and now it looks like I peed!
Also, I peed.

Plenty more where that came from!
I don’t often run across a piece of pure poetry in the wild. Well said!
Lmao I think that’s genuinely the best summary of his writing style that I’ve ever seen
Thank you for that.
I encourage Canadian conservative voters to write in Trump’s name on their ballot
LOL some smooth brains no doubt will. Will be counted as spoiled ballots.
In the States we encourage our conservatives to write in Jesus Christ for President.
Elect someone who isn’t even running, a very likely outcome
Poilievre alrady said he wants to align more with Trump’s America. He’ll absolutely sell us out.
Man, the dumbest thing about this nonsense is repeating that Canada will only be one state. It’s already broken into provinces, dickhead, at least make a better offer than two senators.
#1 Ontario being the population of Pennsylvania
#9 New foundland being the population of Wyoming
#10 Prince Edward Island only has 150k, could lump in 150k from northern territories
20 senators for 40m, 5.0E-7 senators per person
200 senators for 340m, 5.88E-7 senators per person
It seems pretty fair
I’d love to have the Canadian conservatives in the USA. It would hopefully calm down the magat zombies we have in office.
What? They eat horse paste just like the ones down south. We have maple maga here that fly confederate flags et al. All that would do is increase their numbers, not make them less fascist.
It’s becoming more apparent that the end of late stage capitalism is fascism.
Always has been.
Fuck that it will not and should not happen .so fuck off even thinking about it
Let’s be honest here it’s going to be just a territory for quite a while.
Trump: “NO BORDER!”
And America will pay for it!
They would. Just not in the way they’d prefer.
Fuck you and die, cheeto
Hypothetically, if canada becomes a state, would they flip our house of representatives blue? I guess more likely they’ll become like puerto rico or guam or something.
Population wise it’s like adding another California
But I thought we were pretending to care about states, not individual voters.
I guess more likely they’ll become like puerto rico or guam or something.
This is what you need to keep foremost in your mind. There is no conceivable reality in which the US conquers (yes conquers, they can call it annexation all they want but at the end of the day Trump wants a conquest to his name) Canada and gives any semblance of voting or personal rights to Canadians. Hell, even if Canada was somehow persuaded into voluntarily joining the US, this regime would never, ever honour any kind of arrangement that gave Canadians a fair deal. They are fascist bullies, as close to actual evil as we’ve seen in North America in a very long time, and they have no interest in any sort of fair bargain.
They’d annex the land, and then deport all the Canadian foreigners that illegally immigrated in the US.
I don’t think they are getting statehood right away
He sounds exactly how Kanye would ramble and its fucking scary <~<;
Am I correct in the assessment that his recent antics are because being a nazi no longermakes him special?
Astonishing it’s not satire
I’m still trying to figure out how everything in the last 15ish years isn’t. Why do we have to be in the dumbest timeline.
This is actually one of the most interesting and entertaining timelines.
There was only supposed to be enough source data to make it to 2012- and that was originally a very generous buffer, since a fraction of a percent of Earths last more than 10 years after both networked computers and nuclear weapons have been invented in-simulation.
So, the operators decided not to pull the plug and just let this one run its course.
As it extrapolates history farther and farther outside of the initial parameters, the simulator is cannibalizing itself with feedback and undergoing model collapse.
What is it with Trump and always “being subsidized by us” and “take away from us” while the US has trillions of debt in other countries? 300 billions to my home country alone, which doesn’t even compare to some other countries.
He doesn’t understand what “trade deficit” means.
He trusts that his followers don’t, anyway. Based on some arguments I’ve seen online, he’s right about that.
I mean, he always calls trade deficit a “subsidy”, and has since 2016. I honestly don’t think he understand what that concept means, he’s not that subtle with manipulation.
He is incapable of understanding mutual trade and cooperation. To him every human interaction must have a winner and a loser. So if Canada is benefiting from trade with the US in his mind it must be at America’s expense. It’s a disturbingly simple view of trade and cooperation, and one that makes actual good faith discourse with the US near impossible.
He keeps referring to the disproportionate US export income to import costs. Something like 2 trillion in exports to 3 trillion in imports. 1 trillion lost from the US every year, and ~30% to Canada that’s his math
Because Trump is a troll. He doesn’t give a shit if what he says or does is correct. Trying to make sense of the schmuck gives me a headache.
I’m unironically in favor of border abolition
Not like this though
right. smash Canada and the USA. no borders, no nations.
Just blow up the whole earth
I was aiming at anarchist utopia
Yeeaaaahhh, another one of those things that sounds nice on paper… No thanks, but thanks.
Like what we have is better? Fucking look around. There’s plastic in our blood.
ending all oppression just isn’t your style?
Oh of course it is.
My problem is that you apparently are one of those “if it isn’t my way it’s the wrong way” kinda guy on this topic.
Anarchism isn’t the only alternative, so to say, and very much not the best one as in reality it won’t scale Because human beings are a bit of a dick, in general. Same goes for communism, it requires you to kill a lot of people and basically become a dictatorship.
I’m very much for a highly limited form of capitalism (which at it’s core isn’t bad, it’s the freedom to freely trade) with loads of laws in place to limit the size of it (no company larger than 1000 employees, no company larger than networth of 50 million, no personal net worth larger than 10 million, that sort of stuff) and loads of taxes to apply those laws (no taxes for the poor, richest pay up to 100% income after certain level, etc, to always make sure nobody gets too rich, too powerful
oh… well thats fine too
Right, but then just doing it by including more countries in the schengen agreement or something similar.
I like how he wants Canada as one state. Keeping the Provinces split would push the Senate to the left for quite some time.
Only if you assume elections will keep happening.
They likely will, in a similar fashion to how NK , or russia, or China does it
Elections so clean the result will be known before they start.
Unfortunately if Canada got 20 senators they still wouldn’t have a 60% supermajority to remove Trump, undo citizens united, or enact public option healthcare with. It would be 47+20 = 67 and out of 120 that is 55.83%
